"As we will explain below, the notion of a "quick and surgical" bankruptcy for GM, and probably Chrysler too, is a fantasy. GM would be the most complicated bankruptcy ever. It simply isn't amenable to a prepack or a fast track variant.

That in turn would take out many suppliers, and many of the foreign transplants too."
